lyrics

Tracie

DON’T BELIEVE ALL YOU’VE BEEN TOLD,
ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD.
IT MAY BE HARSH, IT MAY BE COLD,
BUT ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD.

IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE QUITE A PRIZE.
IT MAY TRY TO HYPNOTIZE.
A FAIRY TALE WRAPPED
IN A FALSE ILLUSION,
ENDING WITH THE SAME CONCLUSION.

SAVE YOURSELF FROM GRIEF UNTOLD.
SAVE FROM BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD.
DON’T BE BAMBOOZLED OR CAJOLED,
ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD.

PRECIOUS METALS, SHINEY JEWELS,
LIMOSINES AND SWIMMING POOLS.
IT MAY ALL LOOK QUITE ALLURING,
UNTIL IT’S NOT
AND IT ALL GETS BORING.

BENEATH THE SURFACE,
YOU WILL BEHOLD,
ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD.
EVEN CASTLES HAVE THEIR MOLD,
AND ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD
BELIEVE ME.
ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T -
ALL THAT GLITTERS...
ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD!
